■ SPECIAL FEATURES

• Besides being compact and light, your Pocket Fujica 250 is uniquely designed to make picture taking extremely easy and more enjoyable.
• Operation is simplicity itself: focusing is unnecessary because the lens is pre-focused for you, and there is no film speed setting or film rewinding to do. You just drop in a cartridge, shoot, and drop out the cartridge.
• An X-contact hotshoe lets you take indoor pictures with an electronic flash.
• Its picture-taking scope can be vastly expanded by using Fujicolor F-II400 Pocket Film.

Take out the Handstrap (packed with your camera) and clip it on the Strap Lug. Be sure to carry the camera with your hand passed through the strap loop to prevent dropping it inadvertently.

2 CHOOSING THE RIGHT FILM

Your Pocket Fujica 250 is built for exposing 110 size cartridge-packed film.

Examples: Fujicolor F-II Pocket Film (ASA 100)

Fujicolor F-Ⅱ 400 Pocket Film (ASA 400)

- The recommended film for taking pictures in cloudy weather is Fuji-color F-II400.

4 TAKING OUTDOOR PICTURES

The Fujicolor F-II and F-II 400 Pocket Film Cartridges are built to interlock with the exposure system of your Pocket Fujica 250. The Weather Symbols will automatically switch to the correct set when they are dropped into the camera.

① When using Fujicolor F-II Pocket Film (ASA 100)

Set the Exposure Control to

You are now set to take pictures both in bright and hazy sunlight.

Focusing is unnecessary because the lens is pre-focused for taking sharp pictures from 1.5 meters (5 feet) to infinity.

② When using Fujicolor F-II400 Pocket Film (ASA 400)

To shoot in bright or hazy sunlight, set the Exposure Control to 📄.

If you are shooting in cloudy-bright weather or under an open shade, set it to

Make sure the Exposure Control is set at the click stops directly opposite the Weather Symbols. You cannot take pictures if it is set anywhere in between.

AIMING THE CAMERA

1. To take your picture, look through the Viewfinder and "squeeze" the Shutter Release gently down. You'll get in your picture exactly what you see through the Viewfinder.

- The camera can be held steadier by pressing your

upper arms tightly against the sides of the chest just before you squeeze the Shutter Release.

1. To get ready for the next shot, just turn the Film Advance with your left thumb until it locks.

Be sure to take your finger off the Shutter Release before you start turning the Film Advance.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

Use flash for taking indoor, dawn, evening, dull weather, and in-the-shade pictures.

- Your Pocket Fujica 250 is designed for using cordless type flash.

- The recommended flash is Fujicolor Strobo PII which has a guide number of 16 (ASA 100/meters.)

PE Supplementary Foot

1. Just clip the flash into the camera's Hotshoe.

- If you are using a Fujicolor Strobo PII, remove the supplementary foot before clipping it into the Hotshoe. (Detailed instructions are packed with the flash.)

1. Set the Exposure Control to 🎋.

2. The rest of the procedure is the same as that for taking outdoor daylight pictures. You just look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release gently down.

- With a Fujicolor Strobo PII, you can shoot from a distance of 1.5\~2.5 meters (5\~8 feet) with Fujicolor F-II Pocket Film, and from 1.5\~4 meters (5\~13 feet) with Fujicolor F-II 400 Pocket Film.

1. If you want to take flash pictures from a farther distance, use a cordless type flash which has a larger guide number.

7 UNLOADING THE FILM

FUJICOLOR F-II 20

1. After exposing the entire roll of film, wind it with the Film Advance until you see oblique stripes in the Film Confirmation Window and the Film Advance locks by itself.

- Stop winding as soon as the Film Advance locks. Do not force it because the film might break.

1. Open the Back Cover and unload the film by dropping it out into your palm.

FUIJICOLOR F-II

• If the film does not drop out easily, push the Back Cover Lock to the left as far as it will go.
  • Take your exposed film to your photofinisher as soon as possible.

CAMERA CARE

• Keep your camera and film away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. In hot weather, do not leave them in your car or in any other confined place where heat can accumulate.
• Use a soft brush or an air blower to dust your camera. To remove soil and fingermarks from the lens glass and viewfinder window, breathe a mist on the contaminated parts and wipe off lightly with a piece of soft, lintless cloth or paper.

For best results, use Fuji Lens Cleaning Fluid or Fuji Lens Cleaning Paper.

- If you are not using your camera for a long interval, put it in a container together with some desiccant and keep it where it is cool and dry. Do not leave it in your wardrobe drawer or any other place containing moth repellants.
